HireRight

HireRight is a leading global provider of employment background screening, drug and health screening, and workforce verification services, helping more than 28,000 organizations across 200+ countries and territories run and manage their screening programs. Founded in 1990 and headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, HireRight offers 250+ products and services spanning criminal, financial, identity, education and employment verification, compliance, driving records, and Form I-9 checks, and screened roughly 85 million people in 2025. HireRight does not publish a public developer REST API or developer portal; its integration surface is partner- and contract-based, delivered through 70+ prebuilt connectors with 45+ HCM and ATS partners (including Workday, ADP, Oracle, and UKG) and the Applicant Center candidate experience. This API Evangelist profile captures the company's public, machine-readable, and security/compliance surface (llms.txt, trust center, disclosure, domain security) rather than an open API.

More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles HireRight the way a machine reads it — 3 machine-readable artifacts, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — HireRight scores 19.4/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 4/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile HireRight

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for HireRight. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

Security Posture 3

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
